DRAFT "Rome" General principles on patents and RUF

Following constructive discussions at the Rome meeting (“Workshop on Ready To Use Food Production and Use”, Rome, Friday 2nd March 2007) the following [DRAFT] general principles are proposed. They should not be taken as reflecting the position or policy view of any given organisation present at the Rome meeting but are suggested by MSF/CAME simply as a means to stimulate further discussion about R&D and Intellectual Property issues in the humanitarian nutrition field.
